Dowsett, a silver medal winner behind Millar in the senior men’s time trial at the Games in New Delhi, India, was equally as commanding in his race, covering the 38.6km course in 48mins 38secs to give him a healthy 1min 23secs winning margin over second placed Romain Bacon of France. Dowsett, who is also the European U23 road champion, will be joining Team Sky at the end of the season.

Meanwhile, Jeannie Longo the 51 year-old French rider, won the women's race for a second successive year and a sixth time in her illustrious career.
